Magical Crimes – Part 1: Ellen and the Murder of the Groom
🪄 Fantasy | Detective | Magical Thriller
When wizard Tim van Buuren is mysteriously murdered in the magical castle garden of Rotterdam, Chief Inspector Ellen de Ruiter is put on the case. What begins as a tragic incident after a bachelor party unfolds into a complex murder case full of secrets, magic and human motives.
Together with her diverse team of magical detectives – including botanists, spiritualists and digital cleaners – Ellen delves into a world of forbidden toxins, secret loves, a suspicious will and a black magic market. There are plenty of suspects: a grieving fiancée, a mysterious mistress and a best friend with financial motives. But who really had a reason to make Tim disappear?
🧪 Magic as both a power and a danger
🔍 A murder weapon: a poisoned arrow with rare magical poison
👑 Suspects: from crown prince to gnome professor
💔 Motive: love, revenge, money – and a dark past
Magical Crimes – Part 1 is a compelling mix of urban fantasy and detective, with strong female characters, an original magical world and topical themes such as equality, abuse of power and mental health. Perfect for fans of magical thrillers, treasure hunts and character-driven stories.
